Sadly, they’ll just spawn a new account next time they want to troll. Happily disk storage is cheap so you’ve got a whole lot of blocklist to throw at the puppet accounts.
Probably ineffective. 'Mins would know more but I don’t think they’re botting up thousands of accounts an hour. They likely spend more time finding posts to ragebait and gleefully typing out said bait than signing up a new account. It’d also need to be a security measure implemented across instance which is difficult as some of the shards are already very slow to update and the front end has a lot of customization on it.
Aaaaand blocked.

Maybe a skill-testing question for account sign ups?
